Chapter 2: Who was Jaxon Tippet and why is he being remembered?
Hi, Sean, und danke dir so sehr, dass du mich auf der Determined Society hast.
Oh Mann, es ist ein langer Zeitraum, aber ich bin so froh, dass du hier bist. Du bist so weit über in Australien, richtig? Und du bist in der Zukunft. Es ist wie, ich suche für deine Zeitmaschine.
Wenn du wissen willst, was morgen passieren wird, kann ich dir helfen.
Lass mich wissen. Lass mich wissen, was morgen passieren wird, damit ich ein bisschen eine Idee habe. Aber, wie ich in der Intro erwähnt habe, es wird heute eine andere Show sein, oder? Aber ich denke, es ist nötig, weil für mich war Jackson einer der großen Influencer. Ich habe ihn nicht als das gesehen, als ich ihn kennengelernt habe.
Aber er kam her und ich dachte, dieser große Kerl mit all dieser Influenz gibt ein Scheiß über mich und sagt, er ist ein Fan und liebt mein Content. Ich dachte, ist dieser Kerl ernsthaft? You know, it was just so humbling and he was just so kind and, you know, seriously a tragedy. But I don't want this to be a sad show because he wouldn't want that, right? He would not want that.

Chapter 3: What impact did Jaxon have on his friends?
He wants us to celebrate him the way he was, which is just an exceptional human being. But what did Jackson mean to you?
Well, Jackson meant a lot to me. I think Jackson and I connected, well, he actually connected with me. And I believe 100% that the main reason that he did that was because He really saw in me things that he knew that him and his mum connected through. And he knew that I'd had some similar struggles with my son. So he knew I understood what he'd been through and where he was now.
Und er konnte auch das Gleiche von meiner Sicht verstehen, weißt du, durch die Augen von Mama. Also es war eine dieser Dinge, dass wir uns einfach so fühlten, als ob wir uns von Anfang an getroffen hätten und wir Konversationen haben können, die für einige vielleicht schwierig sind, um zu verstehen.
Ja, ich meine, das ist das verrückte Ding, richtig? Er hatte einen Weg, Leute zu verbinden, richtig? Wir sind hier, weil er da ist. Ich und du sind Freunde, weil er auf deinem Show kam und du und ich irgendwie über einen deiner Podcast-Clips verbunden sind.
Genau, genau.
He was a vessel for that. Didn't you tell me that you and his mom kind of grew up together or you had a previous connection with her and he helped you guys reconnect?
Yes, it's actually quite crazy, Sean, because we didn't realise when I first met Jackson and I'd known him, I think, for a couple of years before we realised. And one day he messaged me and he said, Sharon, you actually, my mum knows you. And we actually were friends back, you know, when we were 17 years old in our little country town in country Victoria.
Und offensichtlich, ich bin da ziemlich jung geblieben. Ich war 23, als ich in Melbourne geblieben bin. Und alle meine Freunde von damals haben sich verheiratet. Ich wusste nicht, wer sie verheiratet haben. Also wusste ich nicht, was ihr Name oder ihr neues Name war. Und es scheint, dass ich sie und ihre Schwester sehr gut kannte, damals. Ja. So wild.
Yeah, how, you know, I believe God connects us with people and reconnects us with people for a reason. Sure. So that was great to have that connection.

Chapter 4: How did Jaxon connect people in his life?
I mean, you were one of, you spoke at his services and it was a beautiful speech, by the way. Beautiful, beautiful speech.
Thank you, Sean. I honestly wanted to just pay tribute to Jackson, obviously, because I had so many conversations with him. I did know what was very important to him or the most important things to him that he was trying to... Ja, genau.
And I was honored. I'm watching the service, I'm streaming it, and I'm sitting there just like, man, I wish I could really be there. And you get up there, and one of the first things you say is my name. Like... It was mind-blowing to me that I was even considered in honoring him there when I wasn't even presently there, so thank you for that.
It meant a lot, you know, from the standpoint of like, you know, it's just, I want him to know I'm thinking about him, and I know he does. You know, I...
And that's the thing, you know, I wanted to do that out of respect of the friendships that Jackson formed, because I don't know if you realize, and you know, a lot of the people that I've connected with through Jackson, and a lot of you are overseas, I don't know if you realize how much of an impact you actually had on Jackson's life. It was really important to him to be seen and to be heard.
And I think through all of you and that community that you all created together in that mental health space really helped him to be, well, to feel seen and heard. And so, you know, you had an amazing impact on his life, as did he on yours. So I think that's something very special.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
He spoke about you all the time. So, yeah, it was important to him.

Chapter 5: What personal stories did Sharon share about Jaxon?
Yeah.
Excuse me, guys, while I collect myself here. You know, I knew that he cared. I knew that he liked me. I knew he liked my show. But I had no idea. Ich meine, er kommt und, du weißt, meine Botschaften und nur periodisch, hey Mann, du weißt, ich bin immer noch glücklich, dein Podcast zu machen. Willst du es machen?
Ich liebe dich, Mann, ich liebe dein Content, aber ich einfach, du weißt nie, den Einfluss, den du an Menschen machst. Und ich meine, er hat sicherlich mein Leben beeinflusst. Ich habe viel von diesem Mann geahnt. Und natürlich, ich mache es immer noch. Aber, aber verdammt, danke, dass du das mit mir teilst.
Ich denke, Sean, dass dein gesamtes Raum, in dem du arbeitest, du weißt wahrscheinlich nicht, wie groß der Einfluss, den du auf so viele Menschenleben hast. Und Jackson war das gleiche.

Dieses Frühjahr und Sommer geht es um skimpe Wireless-Billen und scharfe Wallets. Und Mint hat dich mit Premium-Wireless-Plänen für nur 15 Dollar im Monat beschlossen. Kein Schmerz, kein Stress.
Hör auf, switchen zu Mint Mobile ist wie in deinem alten Flip-Phone für ein Rocket-Schiff. This service is premium. Lightning fast data, crystal clear calls, and none of the random dead zones I dealt with with my old provider. Plus the savings. It's wild. It's time to say bye-bye to jaw-dropping bills and those ridiculous surprise overages.
Mint Mobile hooks you up with high-speed data and unlimited talk and text, all powered by the nation's largest 5G network. I know for a fact by the amount of messages that I got after he passed.
Just how much impact he had on so many people's lives. And at the end of the day, when we are in this current life that we are in now, the most important thing you want to do when you leave this world is to have left an impact in a good way and to have done something good. It's not about... Ich glaube, Jackson hat das definitiv gemacht und ihr macht das gleich.
Yeah, as I get older and I come across people like you and Jackson, you start to see there is a subset of people that are focused on the right things. Und ich weiß das für den Fakt, dass Social Media verdammt verpackt ist mit einer Menge Bullshit.

Chapter 6: What lessons can be learned from Jaxon's life?
Und eines der Dinge, die ich immer erinnere, was er gesagt hat, und ich liebe es, dass sein Geschäftspartner oder wer auch immer noch seine Seite alive hält. Ich meine, weil wir immer noch diese Botschaften von Jackson bekommen, jeden Tag, richtig? Es braucht nichts, um kind zu sein. Es braucht nichts, um kind zu sein und zu lachen. Und das war es.
100%. Logan, his good friend and business partner, is doing that for him. We spoke about it at length, about whether or not they would continue it. And I just thought, and I said to him, I think... It's a tribute to Jackson. It's to honour Jackson. He wouldn't want to stop putting the good things out into the world that he was trying to put out there.
All of the things that Logan's posting are actual quotes from Jackson, things Jackson says. So why not try and continue his legacy and try and keep doing the great work that he was already doing in the world? Jackson had... As you said, a past.
He went through a lot of struggles and I think a lot of Jackson's struggles were trying to find and believe in himself and to understand that he was enough exactly the way he was.
I think he went through a very big period of time where he felt like he was comparing himself to others all the time and he wasn't ever in a good enough space or good enough and I think it took him a long time to start to learn that Who he was, exactly as he was, was enough. And that he had stuff that he could say. He had so much that he could help. Vielen Dank.
Me too, because all too often we see people that are putting out messages like, you're enough, you're loved the way you are, and stop comparing yourself. And we hear that a lot. But the most effective teachers are the ones that struggle with it themselves. Ja. Und was er nie wusste, weil wir keinen Podcast hatten. Ich werde dir sagen, was passiert ist. Es war lustig.
Es war frustrierend, als ich rausgekommen bin. Aber wenn ich zurückblicke, ist es lustig. Aber, weißt du, als Jackson für mich herkommt, war ich am Anfang der Phasen. von dem, was ich jetzt mache, richtig?
Also, du weißt, stell dir vor, du weißt, ich bin in der Däne in meinem Haus, du weißt, es sieht nicht aus wie etwas, ich denke, es sieht gut aus, aber wenn ich zurückgehe, bin ich so, ich kann nicht glauben, dass Leute mir bereits Aufmerksamkeit gegeben haben, richtig, weil es einfach nicht aussieht. It wasn't very aesthetically pleasing, but he accepted me for me at that time. And I needed that.
I needed that external validation from somebody I respected and cared about. Because I didn't know what was going on with my own platform. And he was there. He was there to shine that light. And it just meant the world to me, man. It really did.

Chapter 7: How did the news of Jaxon’s passing affect his community?
We talk about social media and we talk about validation. I think you've got to be very careful who you associate yourself with in that way. Make sure that the people that you're associating with or watching on social media are actually authentic. I understand that you're not going to show necessarily yourself sitting in the bathroom floor crying because you've had a terrible day.
But as long as you're authentically putting that out there that you do have terrible days, it's normal and it's okay. You just don't want to be following people that are just showing parts of their lives where they're done up perfect and everything's perfect all the time because then you start to get caught in that trap. I think perhaps early on Jackson was caught in that trap
Everybody looking perfect and being perfect. Understanding that there's a lot of authentic people out there that genuinely are doing the right thing, trying to put good out there. That made a big difference to him.
Ich denke, es ist alles, richtig? Weil, ich meine, ich habe mich eigentlich sehr recently angepasst, wie, hey, bist du gut? Wie, du weißt, ich möchte nur darauf achten, weil alles sieht gut aus, aber bist du okay? Und hier ist das Ding, es ist so, ich werde nicht jeden Schwung rausnehmen, aber ich spreche darüber auf meiner Plattform, wie, hey, hör mal.
you know, this is where I'm at right now, I'm struggling in this, I don't want people who pay attention consistently to think that my life is perfect, because it is not. You know, husband, father of three young children, an 11-year-old, an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old, we're running around, you know, from extracurricular to extracurricular, you know, sometimes I feel like
Every meal I make, my five-year-old's pissed off at, unless it's pizza or burgers. It's just like, hey, listen, we're in the shit, right? It happens, but I just... For me, I'm not gonna, because I also think that posting a video of you crying is also inauthentic, right? Because that should be a private moment in my humble opinion. It's like, you're doing this for clicks, man.
That's the only reason why you're on camera crying right now. Like, doing a reel, right? Like, now if it's something like, you know, a passing of a child or a parent, like, I get that. Like, I don't mean that. I don't mean that. I mean, like, I'm having a bad day. Like, dude, buck up, Buttercup. We're all having bad days. You know, but still handle your business.
Yeah, I think perhaps You know, that's where the authenticity comes in. And I think people can see straight through that immediately anyway. And, you know, I think, like you say, it's important to talk about bad days, but also people don't want to go on social media and listen to your bad day every day as well.
So I think the idea is that, yes, they happen, but you always know something better is coming. Just get through that day. Das ist eine andere Sache, auf die er wirklich groß war, dass alles möglich ist. Du kannst alles tun.

Chapter 8: What is the lasting legacy of Jaxon Tippet?
Well, I think one of the biggest lessons Jackson learned, you know, through going through his struggles to where he ended up in such a good place, that was one of the biggest lessons that he learned, that, you know, show me your circle, show me your friends, I'll show you your future.
You know, you surround yourself with the wrong people, you're getting the wrong influence, you're going to end up with a very different future. And I think that he... Er hat diesen Kreis geändert. Er hat diesen Kreis klein gehalten, wie du gesagt hast. Er wusste, dass die Leute, die in diesem Kreis waren, authentisch für ihn waren, die das Beste für ihn wollten.
Und, weißt du, als er diesen Kreis verändert hat und diese Leute um ihn herum hatte, die er wusste, dass sie für ihn da wären, hat er immer darüber gesprochen, dass er den Telefon holen würde, einen Freund anrufen würde oder dass er mit dieser Person sprechen würde. Und auch wenn ich einen schlechten Tag hatte, würde es alles um ihn verändern.
Das war einer seiner besten Lektionen, die er gelernt hat. Und ich liebte es, dass er seinen Kreis verändert hat. Du bist so ein guter Junge.
Es ist verrückt für mich, weil ich, als diese News rausgekommen ist, am Morgen wuchs. Okay. Ich bin dann nach dem Gym gegangen und habe die Social App geöffnet, Instagram geöffnet und dann habe ich das Posten gesehen. Ich war so, was für eine satiresickere und zwischende Seite ist das? Und ich war so, das ist Jackson's Seite. Maybe he's talking about the old him.
Maybe he's saying, hey, it's going to be a new year, here I come. I looked at the comments and I just dropped my phone. I was like, this can't be real. You're the first person I contacted. And you were in bed with your grandkids. I'm like, Sharon, please tell me this isn't real. Is this a freaking joke? Because I'm shattered right now. Please tell me this is a sick joke.
Wie hast du das herausgefunden?
Ja. Ja. thinking that his page had been hacked. I think all of us felt it couldn't be true. I think by the time I ended up chatting with you while I was in bed with the grandchildren, I'd contacted Cherie and obviously once I'd spoken to his mum You know, I understood that it was the horrible truth.
And yeah, it was devastating, I think, for all of us, for everybody, but most importantly for his beautiful family, which is, you know, imagine if we're feeling so shocked, imagine the shock they get, getting that call from another country and having to let that sink in and understand it so deeply. Horrible.
